MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — The man indicted for firebombing the Madison offices of Wisconsin Family Action is seeking to have his case dismissed.
An attorney for Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury argues the federal arson statute under which the 30-year-old was charged for the May 2022 incident is unconstitutional.
Roychowdhury is also asking the court to suppress a search warrant, materials obtained in the execution of that warrant and information from a search of his cell phone during his March arrest.
Roychowdhury was indicted by a grand jury in April and pleaded not guilty.
Investigators used DNA evidence, surveillance and social media to track him down nearly a year after the office firebombing.
